NGINX Redirect

    I'm having trouble getting to Woodies DIY site tonight on any Browser and on any of the 4 machines in the house.

    www.woodiesdiy.com

    It keeps redirecting me to a "Welcome to NGINX" page (Pronounced EngineX) which I understand is some sort of reverse proxy of some sort.

    Woodies is the only site I'm having issues with that I'm aware of so far.

    I've cleared my Browsers cache, restarted the router and all the machines but it's made no difference.

    Any idea what that's all about?

    I can reach that john but I use a bookmark shortcut in my Browser and it has always been dot com. I guess it may have automatically redirected me to dot ie but it's not doing it now when I point to the dot com site.

    That ie site is nothing like I'm used to seeing either! Maybe it's just something they changed on their end?

    What do you get if you point to woodiesdiy.com

    Know that you didn't point that at me (I'm John as well lol) but just tried the .com and it's giving the nginx page. Something def wrong with their setup. Prob be ok a while after 8AM when the business opens for the day and they start getting complaints.

    Howya John(#2) ;)

    It's grand once I know it's not a problem on my end like some sort of malware or some other crap.

    http://www.woodiesdiy.com was always what I got when I searched for them on Google but I don't see it in the results now.

    Maybe they retired it and replaced it with the secure certificate site https://www.woodies.ie

    You'd imagine if they did that though their IT people would redirect automatically?

    I suppose we'll just keep an eye and see what happens?

    They point to the same server, so I'm guessing someone forgot to add the host header of woodiesdiy.com, as it's not being matched to a page and is giving a blank nginx default response.
